Macro GuideFollow

Look in your Key Bindings. There's 1 option that sets your Focus to your Target, and 1 option that sets your Target to your Focus. If you have nothing targeted, you will clear your focus if you try to set a new one.

There are addons that display your focus as an extra frame on your screen.

Cant seem to find a poison macro... Well i found a few complicated ones where you press alt and other keys. I need something simple; 2 seperate macros, one poisons main hand weapon, and another to poison off hand weapon.

Something got hosed in your formatting when you try to color Mage as Chartreuse.

i thank you very much, the revive/mend/call pet one is something i couldnt have figured out myself.
(now something that makes my cat use prowl whenever i use shadowmeld ;) )

Looking back at some of the macros (especially the "safe stealth/prowl" ones, it brought to mind an interface option I was looking at last night. Seems that Blizzard put something in recently (I can't remember from where) that does the same thing. It's on the Basic tab of the Interface Options screen. I'm at work right now and, for the life of me, can't remember the wording of this. When I get to the hotel and get WoW up and running, I'll check it out and post it. These "safe" versions might suddenly be OBE.

Why in the world is this thread not stickied? That my friends, is a crime against humanity.

Viva la Macro!

Ahh, I see. Must have missed it.

While I'm here, does anyone know if this macro trick is possible? I need one that only activates when I press a button while holding shift, and it needs to activate a pet ability.

I've done some experimenting on my own with the /click command, however rather than activating the abiliity, it picks up the button! This just won't do, is there a way around this flaw?

Rate up, tag, and added to favorites.

Good job on the extensive, clear, and useful macro guide! THANKS!

Actually, I want iLevel to display when I mouse over the item while it's still in the AH. That probably requires a mod, though.

I tried playing around with this one:

/castsequence [reset=target/combat/modifier:shift] Corruption; Immolate; Life Tap

The first message I got was "Invalid Modifier", so I tried removing "modifier=shift". Afterwards, I got the same message. I deleted everything between the brackets.

OK, it finally worked - somewhat. It only cast the first spell, and recast it on subsequent uses.

hmmmm. I changed the semicolons to commas, and it finally worked

what I ended up with was

/castsequence Corruption, Immolate, Life Tap

I'd still like it to reset when I change targets, but that doesn't seem to work.

Edit: a note to people who want to experiment with macros: don't do your experimentation where you are almost certain to be killed. In the process of finding out how to make the macro work, I did it on Hellfire Peninsula. Bad mistake. I should have gone to a 40-50 zone instead. I died 3 times before I got a working version.

This is the macro I use with my Warlock.

/targetenemy [noharm]
/stopmacro [noharm]
/Petattack
/castsequence reset=combat, Immolate, Curse of Agony, Corruption, Shadow Bolt, Shoot

It works like this:

I press the button, it targets an enemy and immediately sics my pet on it and starts casting Immolate. I press the button again and it casts Curse of Agony, and so on. Note that it's reset=combat, not reset=combat,target. I have a second macro set up for when I have more than one mob to worry about and I simply want to put DoTs on the second one.

/castsequence reset=combat/target, Curse of Agony, Corruption, Immolate

What this does is make it so that I can switch to the second mob, put DoTs on it, then go back to the first mob and pick up where the first macro left off. Plus, the second macro resets upon the changing of targets, so it's possible to tab-DoT between two or more. :D

I have a question, though. Is there any way to fit in my /petattack after or during my casting of Immolate within the first macro, by pressing the same button? I ask this because I often want to pull a mob to me before handing the aggro to my pet.

Noob Post Here...
I read that this macro was do-able in a forum, but I'm not sure if this will work.

It said you could make a macro to change Warrior stance and weapon/shield eqip.

I want to use my two-hand axe when in Battle and Berserk stance, but would like to use my one-hand sword and shield when I switch to Defensive stance.

/cast stance 1; equip Gatorbite Axe

/cast stance 2; equip Jang'hraze the Protector; equip Aegis of the Scarlet Commander

Also when I see a dodge in defensive stance and I want to overpower can I use?
/cast stance 1; equip Gatorbite Axe; Overpower

Thanks for the help.

I figured out what it should be:


I hope that helps you.

PS: You have to click it twice for it to equip the second weapon, clicking it again will return it to whatever item was there before. :)
PSS: You only need to do that if you have two of the same weapon(ie: Grunt's Waraxe). If you have two different one handers than it will equip them both on the first click.
